Having Problem In Evacuating Bowel After Eating Food. Could This Be Due To IBS Or Colitis?
My husband's side of the family: he, his mother, and 2 stepsons have problems with having to evacuate their bowels around 10 min to 30 min after eating. They have cramps and diarrhea as well. Could this be a form of IBS or Colitis? Thanks for the help!
Hi and thanks for the query, The diagnosis of IBS requires that all [possible organic causes of disease be excluded first. Infection and colon tumors are the common causes of defeacation disorders. A colonoscopy is recommended. When all of these are normal, with no visible cause, the diagnosis of IBS cam then be considered and the necessary treatment options available then started. thanks and kind regards
